If you use SBSettings, there is also a toggle available for that for Browser Changer, so you can use a toggle instead of going into Settings (you still need the main Browser Changer app though).”

thanks, i'll check that later. when IOS5 had the notifications on the lockscreen and took ages for an untethered jailbreak i didn't bother jailbreaking until the most recent one, then i moved to IOS6 on the iphone so it's just the ipad thats jailbroken and i've been out the loop of jailbreak stuff for a while

I dunno. I have compared it side by side on another ipad3 and it's fractionally quicker loading normal websites. Java however is slower.

At the moment only Safari gets to access the Nitro java engine which is about 4 times faster.

Rumour had it that Nitro would eventually be made available once it was fully stable and secure.
Just like the JIT java engine in Android, it is far more complex code.

It's OK. Sharing bookmarks is nice, though I do that on Safari already via sync. Chrome is my default browser on my MacBook Pro though so it's something I'm used to. It looks nice on iPad than iPhone though.

ETA - why is it Microsoft are forced to give browser choice but Apple don't?”

That's desktops operating systems because Microsoft still has a dominant share OS. Apple doesn't have any restrictions on the Mac.

Apple doesn't have as much of a dominant share of tablets so no flags are raised in that case.

Why are they "scum?" Google has restrictions regarding Android and Microsoft plans on following Apple's lead with its non-x86 tablets with many restrictions of their own.
